Top officials at the biggest police union in the country are upset with Hillary Clinton, saying she snubbed them.
The leader of the National Fraternal Order of Police told The Hill that the Democrat sent a signal through her staff that she wouldn’t be seeking the union’s endorsement.
"It sends a powerful message. To be honest with you, I was disappointed and shocked," said Chuck Canterbury, the president of the National Fraternal Order of Police.
"You would think with law enforcement issues so much in the news that even if she had disagreements with our positions, that she would’ve been willing to say that."
Clinton’s opponent, Donald Trump, is now actively seeking the union’s support as he trumpets a “law and order” message on the campaign tail.
Canterbury spoke to The Hill in a telephone interview Friday, shortly after he left Trump Tower in Manhattan.
He and other leaders of the police union — which says it represents 335,000 members — visited with Trump on Friday morning to sound out the Republican nominee about his positions on issues of importance to law enforcement officers. Politico first reported the meeting.
The union will not be meeting with Clinton because her campaign decided not to fill out a questionnaire that is required for seeking the police union's endorsement.

Let's face it. Hillary realizes that there are more black votes than there are unionized cop votes out there. Welcome to the underside of the bus.
If she can't buy you she will kill you. Trump 2016 (map)
She doesn't want to see a Hillary sign on any cop's yard, or a sticker on any cop's bumper for fear of losing votes. She's feeding into the anti-cop paranoia that BLM and the NAACP, among others, led by our own president and his underlings, promote and exacerbate. Next will come even more race-baiting.
Union scum. How about stop kissing ass and do whats right. Time to support the ones that support the police not the libtards that use you like the black community.
Lmao hahahaha. You Republicans kill me with your reasoning. I really hope trump wins so all these white republicans blaming the media and BLM and anything not Republican can shut the hell up. Who cares who's in the white house? I care more about voting out mike lewis, screw Clinton and trump. Wake up people the GOVT controls the world. Having been a CTA1 I've seen my share of C,CL,S,TS,TS/SCI messages and the public will never know what really goes on in Washington. We've been using money, drugs and weapons to barter trade with other countries since the 80s. Stop with the nonsense, do you'll really think the government wants us to all get along or for their to be no crime? Look at this election Democrats vs Republicans. Why can't we just choose the best person regardless? We should all be classed as independent voters. So why you'll scream about black and white and cops vs thugs the biggest thing dividing us is politics.
Oh holy wise one 7:08 so you wory about the sheriff but not about the country? I think most of the people that follow sby news know about the corruption in goverment and thats why me need TRUMP
Anyone who seeks hillary's support or support her and her corrupt gang...is brain dead or corrupt themselves....makes one wonder if your members are just as corrupt!
..and 708....your too shallow minded to even attempt explanation
Did you all not read that he hopes Trump win?. But also why can't we be us. Why do we have to change for anyone. Take care of the wide picture and the small ones will be easy to handle. We need Trump if for any other reason he will change the way things are. That is what has to happen. Do any of know someone that hates this country? How do you feel about the country that you live in? I am so tried of the PC, that was the start. (map)
police unions deserve to be snubbed and disbanded. they do not serve the public interest only the cops. especially the bad cops.
She don't care she has the teachers union untill she throws them to the curb. But she don't have the teachers votes.
I pray to God no Police Officer would vote Clinton. Law and Order Vote Trump. You liberals are idiots. Lets just give it all away who cares who actually worked for it.
6:46 I have a copy of the actual memo sent out by the F.O.P. President. Educate yourself Non-Union scum. There are two sides to every story. Let me guess your daddy was non-union so you are non-union and probably work a minimum wage job. Do not hate those that fight to get ahead. Do you think for one minute rich business owners or the govt. give two craps about you.
Stay strong F.O.P. and F.F.A. kick that nasty biotch to the curb
